Media Vultures

Well, I think we've hit the bottom in the news. The Virginia Tech killings has become a ratings booster. I've had to stop looking at the news because all they can talk about is the Psycho Manifesto, the blah, blah, blah, killer this, the blah, blah, blah, killer that. If there's nothing to get from facts, the news goes to the guys dry-cleaner who says, "Yes, he was a very good customer, always paid on time." and the postman who says, "One time I saw him as a kid riding his bicycle, but he fell off and scraped his knee. I think that's what made him do it."

Come on people. This stuff should all be canned and put into a psychology textbook. In the manifesto, this guy mentioned the Columbine killers. If the media had quietly glossed over that, I think the copycat factor could be reduced. Let's let people make up their own ways to kill others instead of having obvious opportunities handed to them by our beloved channels of information.

I'm sure this post is not politically correct, but who cares really. My guess is that it's not the media's fault, we're the ones who look. Which just indicts the American public as hungry for any entertainment. Kinda like ancient Rome with the gladiators. OK people get up, up, up. Go outside, play with your kids. If you don't have any, go inside and get some. Oh, and while your at it, TEACH THE KIDS TO BE NICE TO EVERYBODY ELSE. If that's the only lesson we learn, well, I don't think it's a bad one.
